“I am very fortunate to have been able to help many individuals, couples and families through difficult times in their lives. I have the greatest passion for my work. It is such a direct way of helping others and I have always been interested in that.

“I believe in the power of therapy to engender change, growth, and healing, and research has consistently evidenced this belief. However, the foregoing can be scary for many, and understandably so. Change, growth, and healing involve new ways of viewing the world and self, challenging many preexisting world and self-conceptions that have been taught, and thus learned. I therefore provide the opportunity for you to work with me in a down-to-earth, person-to-person manner, acknowledging the normal and abnormal as subjective constructs. In this way, you will be treated as a person, not as a diagnosis.

In my practice, I focus on helping children, adolescents, and teens navigate through what may be a tumultuous time by building upon each individual's strengths, working on positive communication skills, and helping each child to develop healthy coping strategies. I also enjoy supporting parents in providing positive nurturing and guidance to their children who are on the journey to adulthood.
